PREFACE.

The bulk of the text from which the following translation
was made is printed in the volume entitled Three Irish Glossaries,
pp. 1 — 45, from a MS. in the library of the Royal Irish Academy
which I call Codex A. The Additional Articles, now for the first
time published, are printed from a transcript made by me some
seven years ago from the Yellow Book of Lecan, a manuscript
in the library of Trinity College, Dublin, containing the copy of
Cormac's Glossary which I call Codex B,

The translation now printed was made by O'Donovan many
years before his death, and appears never to have been revised
by him after he had acquired the wide and accurate knowledge
of the ancient Irish language which he possessed when I enjoyed
the privilege of knowing and learning from him. This being so,
I have thought it my duty to endeavour to print his version
in such form as it would have assumed had he lived to publish it.
But wherever I have ventured to make any change substantially
affecting the meaning, O'Donovan's words have been given either
in the text or a foot-note.

The transcript of O'Donovan's version, sent out for the pur-
pose of the present publication, contained a large body of notes,
philological, topographical, and historical. These required much
sifting and abbreviation. But nothing, I think, of importance
has been omitted. O'Donovan's notes are signed thus : — c 0'D\
Those by the Editor are marked 'Ed? Passages and words
inserted in O'Donovan's text and notes are inclosed in square
brackets. Attention is requested to the Corrigenda.

ADDENDA,

P. 5, Ahabt. As to tig anail cf. infra p. 155 s. v. Sethor, ' undo est isin trie tig anail M/

P. 12, note f6J But see infra p. 61.

P. 15, Amob. The Skr. ambhaa ' water/ ambhri-»a ' watervessel* may be connected.

P. 16, Auchaidb : aKoifia is possibly cognate.

P. 17, Buananh . buan may be = Faunus, Umbr. font.

P. 23, Bind. Add pindarus is in Isidorus pandurus, vavtovpa, a three-stringed musical
instrument.

P. 25, Be Nbt, see Pictet, Revue archéologique, Juillet, 1868.

P. 30, Cbuimtheb. The Old Welsh premter seems borrowed, like the Cornish prounder,
prónter € priest', from praebendarius,

P. 32, Cboicbnn. Add croc, croc, W. crack* puny" may be connected with O.Lat cracentee
graciles, Skr. krica.

P. 33, Cojjbt. I would now refer urtica to an Italo-celtic root TJRT * to burn/ whence
the Irish ort .i. losgadh (gloss by Mac Firbis in H. 2. 15, p. 181), and possibly the
mans name Ultdn.

P. 36, Cbontsaile. The t in cron-t-*haile (literally 'horn- spittle,' W. corn-boer) is in-
serted between n and the aspirated s (pronounced h) or sails just as in the German
deren-t-halben, dessen-t-halben a t is inserted between n and A. So rigen-tshaile
4 tough spittle/ lán-tshásad ' full satisfaction/ infra p. 77 s. v. Fled, min-t-shuilech
(ffl. luscus), aon-t-shlige ' one road,' aon-t-shuil ' one eye/ O'Don. Gr. 372, aon-U
shuim * grand total/ So after feminine á-stems governing the genitive, in ben
tshirg * the woman of sickness/ Senchas Mar, p. 140, and after the preposition cen
now gan : cen t-shuilt ' without eyes/ infra p. 68, s. v. Dall : gan Uskliocht * with*
out issue/ gan t-shult ' without cheerfulness, Keating cited by O'Don. Gr. 393.

P. 45, Cullach. Add from caull * a testicle/ W. caill. The Skr. kola ' hog/ with which
M. Pictet compares cullach, has only one 1. 1 suspect that the Celtic words are con-
nected with Lat. callu~m % callus.

P. 46, Ca. The Old Irish cae ' house* is from the root Kvi, Skr. ci, whence *c//icu, qui-es
and Goth, hai-ms, Eng. home. The Low Latin cayum * house' is probably from
an Old-Celtic caion, of which the dat. or abl. sg. caio occurs in Endlicner's glossary,
Revue archéologique, Mai 1868.

P. 54, line 4. In dé-dól * twi-light' the del (root du ' to burn*) is identical with the Laco-
nian ía/3eAóc (from 2aFeAác) i. e« ZaXóc. ' torch/

P. 72, note (b) add If initial p has been lost, we may compare ircpicoc, xtpKvos ' dusky/
the Skr. pricni * variegated/ ' spotted/ which is used especially of cowb, and the
Latin spurcus.

P. 74, note (d) add ' But see mux .i. imat infra p. 116. s. v. Mér.

P. 76, Fbbn. I now think this word must be an old preterite participle passive in -na (like
lá-n ' ple-nus/ dá-n ' dó-num') from the root V AR 4 to choose/ Skr. vri. The fern
4 man' cited from Duil Laithne, where tbe nom. dual fernoin the phrase da-(fh) erno-
er-ciach ' twelve men/ lit. * two men on ten/ also occurs, may be for *fer*n, *versno t
root VARS, whence Skr. vrishai ' ram', vri&ha ' bull'.

viii J d den da.

P. 78, note (e) add ' Bnt cf. scindo .i. dluge neeh infra p. 154'

P. 86, line 5, etarlam is glossed in H. 2. 16, col. 108, by lamdae dogni an goba cein
mbis iarnd i tinid ' lamdae (?) which the smith makes while (the) iron is in (the)
fire/

P. 86, Gabt : add gart ' hospitality* is probably cognate with Latin gratus, Skr. gtirta.

P. 89, Guth, add Probably Gu, Skr. gu 'to sound/ Gr. yodto.

P. 92, Iabn, The forms iart, iarth remind one of the Old Breton hoiart in Bun-hoiart,
also Itun-hoiarn. The Old-Celtic probably had the form Uarto as well as Uarno.

P. 97, Imbabach : imba ['in quo erit'] jabar.

P. 104, Lesc : add ' lose is cognate with Xojóc, luxus.

P. 110, line 2 add Skr. mft.

P. Ill, Muo-éime, line 7. Dinn Tradui would in Old Welsh be Din Tri-dui. " Dvcy
is an appellative for several rivers, as Dwy fawr [' Big Dwy'] and Dwy fach
[' Little Dwy'] in Arfon." Pugh.

P. 117, Molt : suit ' fat' may be cognate with stultus, stolidus, Skr. sthdla 'bulky/ 'fat/
sthulatá 'bulkiness/

P. 117, Mass, add=patnos 'breast,' 'udder/ 'knoll/

P. 117, Mendat. The root is MAND, whence Skr. mandird ' house/ mandurd ' stable/
Gr. fiávdpa 'stall/ with which M. Pictet (Origg. Indo-européennes, II. 19), puts the
Ir. tnanrach ' sheepfold/

P. 117, Nenaid. Add as to which see Pictet's Origg. Indo-européennes, I. 823.

P. 132, Ossab might just as well be equated with varepog.

P. 132, Oskad is for *sonad, *svandtu =s M. Bret, huanat ' a sigh', root SVAN ' to sound/
Skr. wana, Lat. tonus.

P. 144, Rop (from *rup-vo-s P) I would put with rup in Latin ru-m-po, rup4u-s = Skr. lup-ta.
From the root RUP or LUP come Zend raopi 'a kind of dog/ Skr. lopaka
'jackal/ Gr. &-\wirq£ ( fox/ Lat. lupus ' wolf/ and (with the common change of p to
c) the Irish luch ' mouse/

P. 164, Ub, line 2, after dicitur insert [isua brethaib nemed ' in the Bretha Nemed/ F].

P. 166, Uim, add but cf. Gr. dj/^.

FURTHER CORRIGENDA.

P. 8, AithecH: dele the reference to Skr. atiyaeas. For patika (which occurs in compound
adjectives fovpati, vóeriQ, Goth, fath-s) is more likely the Skr. cognate.

P. 11, A, line 5, for * It will come' read ' I will bring (it)' : of '. toi * bring thou' infra s. v.
Letheeh. Line 14, omit ' but this seems wrong.'

P. 24, line 3, for bratan read bratdn : and of. nocobiat brattana isind abaind-sin, Trip.
B. 166, col. 2 (' there will not be salmons in that river').

P. 31, Cerbsibb, for ' is a t>' read ' is not a v*

P. 35, Caxóijx, for * It also meant' etc., read " The ace. dual of a cognate it-stem meaning
canonicus is found on the Aran inscription," &o.

P. 69, Duilb, line 6, for atchiu ' I see ' read diliu * I pray/ and note that gaibiu, guidiu
and ibiu are originally d-stems, as appears from the 3d sg. pres. indie, gaib,
guid and ib.

P. 68, Éc, line 3, for angew read angeu

P. 75, note (c), for sassud read saesad

P. 100, note (a), for is read id

P. 104, Los cuibk, line 3, for llos read llost

P. 110, n. (d), for quacz read quaez

P. 117, Maothal, for letk read leth

P. 145, RBB,line3, for 'Hard' read 'Here (comes).' CD is clearly right: uindsi (spelt
undseo in O'Ourry's Lectures, t>p. 490, 507) is a pronominal adverb meaning
' here.' O'Davoren's aimsa is a blunder for annso, anaso * here'.

P. 149, Sboamlae. Here again O'D is right : messtar bú ' cows are estimated'— the passive
here as occasionally taking the accusative (6&=jSovc)

P. 160, note (b) line 2, for ermaissin read ermaissiu

Amos i.e. am-fhos or an-fos, he who has no rest, but who moves from place
to place.

B. adds .i. o tigerna dialailiu ' from (one) lord to another'. — Ed. The meaning is
that this word is compounded with am negative, and fos rest. The Four Masters
use the word, spelt amhas, to signify a hireling soldier. In the Leabhar Breacc
it translates the word satellites. It is now usea in Munster to denote a hound or
beagle. — CD. From amos comes the diminutive amsán, of which the nom. pi. atnsáin

Andseiro [Anserg B] € greatly shrunk or wasted', i.e. difficult or painful is his
state.

O'D.'s explanation of andseirg or anserg seems a guess. B. adds, no a fsrg no a
nasa. — Ed.

Airget ' silver 7 quasi air gent i.e. ab argento*

This is a genuine Celtic word : cf. Argento-ratum> Argento-magus, and the rivername
Argenteus : M. Bret, argant, Corn, arghans, arhans, W. ariant. — Ed.

Arco fcin dom dia, i.e. I pray, i.e. postulo veniam a deo vel gratias ago, vel
I ask forgiveness a Deo post peccatum. Aliter arco [/uvi] ab arceo finem
Deo, i.e. I commend my end to God ; quamvis primo peccavi, I ask, i.e.
pardon from my God ; arceo i.e. I bind.

The commencement of this article is translated from B— A being here corrupt. The
glossographer's double explanation of fuin, from venia and from finis, shows that he
really knew nothing about its meaning. O'D. cites a verse from Lebar na h-uidre,
fo. 77, ascribed to Art Aenfhir [A. D. 220] son of Conn of the 100 Battles, in which
the word occurs :

Arco Juin dom rig, ferr main na each main :

Mo chorp úag in úaig, cona chloich chruaid cáin.

" 1 ask death (?) of my king, a treasure better than every treasure,

My body perfect in a tomb, with its hard, fair stone".

Fuin also occurs infra, s.v. Fair, where it is clearly the opposite of ' sunrise*. Connected
with fuin are fuined in the phrases fuined grene ' sunset', Z. 432, ó thurgabáil gréine

' death*. The verb arco ' I ask' (cf. W. arch ' a request', Lat. arc-esso, Skr. rch), is a

Ascaid [Ascath B] i.e. 'a hero', uncle asgaeie [ascata B], i.e. heroic or champ-
ionlike, from the terribleness of the hero, like a shade or like a phantom.

Ascada (gl. emuli) Milan, asoadaib (gl. aemnlis), Z. 1064, seem to belong to this.

An or Am, a Gaelic negative : as there is nath 'science', and annaih * igno-

'weakness'.

An is the Skr. an- a-, Gr. hv y A-, Lat. mi-, Goth. «n-. It occurs in several Old
Celtic names : as An-drasté> An-oalites, An-valonndcos, An-darta. The other particle
am- (see Amos, supra), was identified by Siegfried with Skr. «ami ' half', fybu, «émt— see

comeliness of that man. Item Cuchulainn post mortem dixisse perhibetur

4 Cormac's Glossary.

Eochaid find fuath n-airt was son of Feidlimid Rechtmar and uncle of Art Aenfkir,
King of Ireland, A. D. 220. The allusion to Cuchulainn is from a legend that that
hero, who was slain A. D. 2 , appeared to his friends after his death, and told them
' romemad art uasal\ meaning himself. This legend will be found in the Book of
Leinster (H, 2,18) fol. 78b. Guaire Aidne, king of Connaught, died A. D. 662. The
lines above quoted probably relate to Marcán, Chief of Hy-Many, slain A. D. 650. — O'D.
As to art * god', see Three Ir. Glossaries, XXXIII, and cf. the Old-Welsh name
Art-mail (leg. Arthmail ' detaervus' ?). As to art ' a stone*, see Three Ir. Glossaries,

Arg i.e. three things it means (a) : arg i.e. c drop', unde dicitur rn-arc i.e.
ro-arg i.e. a great drop i.e. a great flowing of wet. Arg secondly, i.e.
' hero', unde dicitur argda i.e. heroic, cujus uxor arggeind [arggen B] .
Argeind then (signifies) i.e. it is natural (gein) for an arg ' hero' to be
with her, and it is good for him. Vel arg-cuin, i.e. from arg € hero' and
cuiniu € woman'. Arg, moreover, i.e. 'famous', unde dicitur aircetul i.e.
arg-cetul i.e. a poem (celul) famous (arg) from the frequency with* which
it is sung in concert (b). It cannot be interpreted a ( poem of heroes'
arg, because it is not for heroes tantum, i. e. only, that it is composed.

Arg ' drop 1 may have lost an initial p, and be radically connected with Lat. spargo
and even the name of the Vedic rain-god Parjanya (also a word for ' raincfoua ).
Arg 'hero* may be the Greek &px°C> Skr. arha-s. Arg 'famous', is perhaps only an
intensive prefix = apx i — Ed.

Abb ' abbot' ab eo quod est vaxxac, vel a nomine hebraico quod est abba

of the Tuatha dó Danann, Brian, Iuchar, and Iucharbu, who were accounted gods for
their feats of necromancy. The " Two Paps", in the district of Luachair Deaghaidh in
the County of Kerry, are two mountains, still so called, in the barony of Magunihy. —

O'D renders " because one (post) is at the east, the other at the weather side of the

jamb of a door. — O'D. The dative sg. — isin ursain — occurs infra s. v. Nescóit. — Ed,

Aititiu * recognition' [?] i.e. aith-detiu i.e. detiu iterttm, it having been

6 Cormac 9 8 Glossary.

Anomain i.e. a name of a poetical composition, i.e. áti-shomáin ' aoble profit',
(i.e. a name of the compositions from their profits), i.e. because of the
greatness of its reward and its rank ; and it is the poem of the Ollam,
unde dicitur ' the anomain sustains the ollam 3 .

Text somewhat doubtful. B has inloing ollam anomain 'the ollam sustains the
anamain : cf. anamain cetharreich infra, s. v. Bat. — Ed\

Anuuth nomen secundi gradus poetarum i.e. the rich stream — srulh — of
beautiful praise (which flows) from him with the stream of treasures
— áne — (which flows) to him in return.

The ánruth's number of stories was 176, Senchas Már, p. 44. After the synod of
Druim Ceta his retinue was reduced to twelve (xii. i cléir ind anraid). — Ed.

Anair i.e. name of a poetical composition : it is the poem which the cU makes
i.e. an-áir not satire (áir) but it is praise. Though this is now (applied)
similarly to every kind of eulogy (a) it is more appropriate to the present
species, for it is the ingenuity of the poets that invented these names to
distinguish the various species, and it was not (the) subject matter (b)
that was considered by them. — B inserts another etymology : Anair dono
for reith in ree-so .i. aon a hiar .i. an aen tarmfortcend a forcend ocus is
debricht a deach 7 a tarmfortcendaib 7 eitsechtaib deochraiges fria nath
debrichta. 'Anair runs in this manner quasi aon a hiar ' its end is one', i.e.
the termination at the end (of each line) is a monosyllable; and its
metre is debricht, and (it is) by its terminations and jingles that it is dis-
tinguished from the nath debrichta\

The examples of the metre called anair which are {riven in the Book of Ballymote,
fol. 162, represent it as composed in lines of six syllables, whereas the examples of
debricht are in lines of eight syllables. So that the assertion, that the metre of anair
is debricht, seems to he a mistake, arising, perhaps, from an error of transcription. — O'D.
Fictet, Nouvel Essai sur les inscriptions gauloises, p. 79, connects with anair the
Gaulish name Anare-viseos, which he proposes to explain by 'carminum laudis
gnarus\ — Ed.

Akfobeacht, the name for a man who is in a decline, and whom disease reduces,
so that there is no fat nor juice in him, for the noun bracht signifies fat.

So in Senchas már, pp. 124, 140, di anbobracht .i. in ben t-sirg cin súg nirt ' the woman
in a decline without juice of strength' — Ed. So, too, in O'Clery's Glossary and the

Adart € a pillow' quasi ad-irt y a property (adaé) of death (ift), for sleep is

dicitur descaid chodulta freslige € lying down is sleep's leaven' (c). (Aliter)
Adart i.e. ath-ard ' re-height' (d) because it is higher than the rest of
the bed.

battles and held office under him as aithechfortha. Mog, son of Nuada, held a similar
office under Coirpre, king of Ulster. A case had occurred between the two kings, which
led to the seizure by Assal of three cows belonging to the king of Ulster's people. But
they having been rescued by Mog (a), Asal seized six cows in reprisal on the following
day. These proceedings are here referred to as the first case on record of legal reprisal
or athgahail. — O'D. See further Dr. Ferguson's paper in the Transactions of the

Abarta \Abbartu B] ' benediction' .i. a seventh of the person's food is taken
(as a reward for the benediction). This is a lawful abarta 'price of
benediction'. It is for his benediction alone that the one gives it to the
other, not at all for its peculiar merit, but for his saying to the other
' I say the benediction' : ar chobele [?] then is it given.

The word abarta signifies properly the pronouncing of a benediction, from abraim
* I speak or pronounce', and is transferred to denote the complimentary reward given for
pronouncing a benediction or the fine imposed for not pronouncing it. In H. 3,17,

{>. 408, in a lawtract mentioning the fines payable for neglect of various duties is the fol-
owing : Im abartain .i. im in nemabartain im nembendachad sechtmad biata in graid na
derna in bendachad * For abarta i.e. for the non-abarta i.e. for non-benediction (the fine
is) a seventh of the feeding of the person, according to his rank, who did not make the
benediction'. It was an ancient custom for workmen on completing any work and
delivering it over finished to their employer to give it their blessing. This was the
abarta, and if it was omitted, the workman was subject to a fine or loss of a portion of
his hire, equal to a seventh part of his feeding or refection—the amount of the refection
being settled by the Brehon law in proportion to the rank of the art or trade which he
professed. In the same lawtract occurs the following: im abartain mná diaraile
sechtmad lánbiata na mná na derna in bendachad ' for the abarta of one woman to
another, the seventh part of the full refection of the woman who did not give the
blessing'. — O'D.

S. Colmáii Mao Lenine was the founder of the see of Cloyne and died 24 Nov. A. D. 604,
aged about 80 years. He had been poet to Aed Caem king of Cashel about the
middle of the 6th century. The verses here quoted were pronounced by him at the. synod
of Druim Ceta, according to the Book of Leinster fo. 8, where they are given with an
interlineary gloss. By ' my sword' in the last verse, the poet' probably means the bardic

r»wer of satire which he possessed, and which was more powerful than a sword. — O'D.

as follows : —

" To mani mámoá: " It will come unless broken (is) my car :

Ara taire mo á mo mo'\ Let my car come back early".

" Mani má do á to". " Unless broken (is) thy car it will come".

O'D. renders this quatrain thus : " Will you lend me your car P I will if you do not
break it. Will my car be returned soon P It shall if your car be not broken". But éssar
is the third sg. passive of tasaim (a). The second tó is according to O'D. glossed by
tiefadh in an extract by Eugene Gurry from a ms. belonging to " Wm. Monck Mara
Esq", and by tiocfaidh in a ms. of the R. I. Academy No. 169, p. 229. It is the Welsh
daw 'veniet. -ára is the common conjunction Z. 679, which precedes the imperative,
Z. 680. In the ms. last cited the first to is glossed by béarad, but this seems
wrong. M6 is = W. moch, which Siegfried equated with Lat mox. A, for * aga, seems

Aicilln» 'servitude* i.e. auco gillnae (a) i.e. when the man gave a set
taurclotha to another, i.e. the price of his honour on receiving cows from
him, it is meet (auco) for him afterwards to yield servitude (gillne)to that
man and to receive cows from him according to the custom of chieftainry.
Though he desires to accept cows from another, he cannot, but (must)
accept them from the man from whom he gets the seoit taurclotha* Now,
although after accepting cows according to the custom of chieftainry
from the vassals by the chiefs, there is the name of aigille to the vassals,
yet this is improprie, proprie autem aigille dicere to the men who receive
seoit taurchlotha though they do not give a reward for the mutual
service of the chieftainry.

O'D. understood this passage thus : " Aigillne is a Brehon law term applied to one who
places himself under the protection of another ; and it is derived from augo, lawful,
meet, or proper, and giallnae * to do homage'. On this occasion the protegee having
first received a certain number of séds, or cows, by way of subsidy or present from
the protector, in token of the protector's superiority, pays him a certain tribute called
séd taurclotha as the price of his protection. After this the protegee delivers pledges
to the protector, and again receives sects from him as from his lord and chieftain.
After this ceremony has been gone through, it is not in the protegee's power to take
subsidy from any other at any time, except from the person to whom he has thus given the
seoda taurclotha. The term aigillne [ms. aigille — Ed.'] is sometimes applied to the
chieftains [mss. célib ' vassals'. — Ed.'] after they have received cows as tribute from the
vassals, according to the custom called be* n-airchenda * custom of chieftainry'. But
this is a misnomer, for aigillne [ms. aigille— -Ed.] is properly applied to those who
give the seoit taurclotha in token of the superiority of the person to whom they are
given, though they should not continue to pay the chief for his protection' 1 .

The word set ' cow', which occurs so often in the article just translated and in the
Brehon laws, seems to be the Breton saout * le gros bétail particuliérement les betes a
cornes'. — Ed.

O'D. translates * a doubt of its knowledge is upon thee'. But aincid clearly means

The giossographer means that abras ' yarnspinning' is compounded of the low Latin
abra 'ancilla and the Irish feis, which, with the meaning above given, I have not met
elsewhere (b). It probably comes from the root VAX, Skr. vaksh, whence also av£w,

Buanann nurse of the heroes, i.e. be n-Anann (a) from their similarity to
each other, for as the Arm was mother of gods, sic Buanann erat
mother of the heroes i.e. a good mother. Aliter Buan-ann [,i. daghmatair
c good mother' B.] the buan i.e. is bón i.e. from bonum, as is said genither
buan 6 ambuan e buan is born from ambuan' i e. good from evil. The ann
that is in Buanann denotes mater. It is this that is in Ana [Anand B]
i.e. mater deorum. Buanann then (means) a good mother for teaching
feats of arms to the heroes.

It is impossible to bring buan 'good' from the Latin bonum with its short penult.
Rather cf. W.buan 'swifV, which seems the Skr. javana. For the change of meaning

from ' swift' to ' good' cf. cnrovlaioQ. As to Buanann, I would connect it with the Skr.

Bran i.e. a raven, unde dicitur brandae i.e. ravenlike for blackness and

Brá'th [braalh B] f a judgment' .i. Welsh, from that which is brant i.e. judex
Peg. judicium] for it is with the Judge alone is that Day of the Judg-
ment, i.e. Jesus Christ.

JBráth Z. 20, 1090, gen. brdiha, an «-stem. In Gaulish we seem to have this word
in 2?rato-spantium ' val du jugement', as Pictet (Nouvel Essai, p. 69) translates it,
and in bratu-de 'ex imperio' of the inscription of Nimes (Beitr. II. 104). So in Oscan
brateis ' imperii* (Beitr. v. 342) em-bratur ' imperator/ So the Sabellian inscription
of Novelli (Kuhn's Zeitschrift XV. 241) T. Veti duno didet Hereto Jovio brat . . data
' (T. Vettius donura dedit Herculi Jovio ex imperio data') seems to agree beautifully with

This quatrain is not in B. From bachall comes bachlach (of. n&n-bacMach infra s. v.
Prull, voo. sg. a bachlaig infra s. v. Munnu) = W. baglog 'shepherd* = Bret.
baelek ' presbyter*. lath * a bell with its voice' is possibly cognate with airiia. Bach

Baten i.e. bath aitin i.e. ' sudden death' i.e. a muirtchenn ( ' morkin* ) that

Benntraighe, now Bantry, an ancient territory in the County of Cork. According to
Duald Mac Firbis the Beantraighe descend from Bean da son of Concobhar mac Nessa,
one of the Ernaans of Munster. There is another Bantry in Leinster, lying between

Boge [Boige B] i.e. name for a cauldron of covetousness which was made by
the artizans. This, then, is the form in which it is i.e. nine chains out of

every chain and nine artisans standing around it, the company singing the
poem (a) j with the point of the spear of each man through the hole of the
chain that was next to him. And he that gave a donation to them, it
was iuto this cauldron he put it > unde dicitur coire sainnle ' caldron of
covetousness'. This then was the legitimate contents of the cauldron, i.e.
a brethnasc of pure gold, (weighing) twelve ounces.

BrAtkcumi [Bradcai B] i.e. brethcheo áei. Aliter, quod est verius, i.e. Cáei
Caenbrethach, pupil of Fenius Farsaid. This is the disciple who went to
the children of Israel to learn Hebrew, and he was the brehon at the
expulsion of the sons of Miled. The reason that he is called Cáei Caen-
brethach ' mild-judging* is because he passed sentences according to law,
and therefore there are many instances in the language. Every time
there is no king in the districts, it is a bráihchaei that serves on (a) them
i.e. for (administering) local law [?] (b). When, however, there is a king,
he is absolute ruler (?) as (seems) good to him.

A brdthchae was a brehon elected to administer the laws in a territory daring an
interregnum. The only recorded instance of this is the appointment of Cuan O'Lochain,

ear-lobe, between his two fingers, and the person dies on whom he performs
(this) operation. True is this, as this member is on a man outside, so is

B. omits the absurd etymology of Brigit, which name is certainly (as Siegfried
thought) connected with the O.Celtic goddess-name Brigantia and possibly with the
Skr. Brhaspati and O.Norse Bragi. The name of the Dagda (as to whom see infra
b.v. Ruadrofessa) Siegfried thought was borrowed from Lat. doctus, as augtor from
auctor, legtóir from lector» But why not then Dogda ? I would rather regard it as
a genuine Celtic part. pass, meaning doctus, but to be connected with the root DAGH

Cormac i.e. corb-mac i.e. corb 'a chariot', Corbmac then (means) son of a
chariot. Cormac Geltai Gaeth of Leinster was the first so called, because
he was born in a chariot. This, then, is the correct orthography of that
name i.e. Corbmac i.e. so that a b be in the first syllable of that name
Cormac i.e. b scribitur ut Corbmac.

or an ox which works at the plough, (is) the third set, and this is the rí-sét

judgment of Caei Cáinbrethach : (one of) every three sets (should be) a
set gablae, another a samaisc, another a laulgach or a plough-ox. They
are varied in their order until the mulct is completed [impud foraib beos

eori eend na herca) (a). And these are the sets required to be given in
Patrick's law, for its sets are half an ounce.

From a ms, note of the late Eugene Curry I gather that he thought the ri-sét was
the unit by reference to which an eric was calculated. Four seoit gahla = two
samaÍ8ci = one ri-sét. Thus, to take his own illustration, suppose the fine was 3
cumhals or 21 cows : this might be made up thus : 10 ri-seoit = 10 cows

16 samaisci =s 8 „
12 seoit gahla = 3 „

The amount might obviously be made up in many other ways, e.g. 5 ri-*eoit + 30
samaisci + 4 seoit gahla = 21 cows, ana this power of varying the components is
perhaps what Cormac refers to by the- phrase impud foraib etc. — Ed.

Cbuimther i.e. the Gaelic of presbyter. In Welsh it is premier : prem ( worm'
in the Welsh is cruim in the Gaelic. Cruimtker> then, is not a correct
change of presbyter : but it is a correct change of premier. The Britons,
then, who were in attendance on Patrick when preaching were they
who made the change, and it is primier that they changed; and accord-
ingly the literati of the Britons explained it, i.e. as the worm is bare, sic
decet presbyterum, who is bare of sin and quite naked of the world, etc.
secundum eum qui dixit ego [autem] sum vermis [Ps. xxii.6 : ataimse
conad cruim me 7 nach duine B] etc.

Cf. Cruimther Fraech, an Irish saint, and Cruimtheris ( — presbyterissa) one of 8.
Patrick's textrices et sacrorum linteorum confectrices (Colgan, Trias Tkaum., p. 167),
daughter of a British king (ib. p. 163). — O'D. I doubt if Cormac is right in deducing cruim-
ther from premter. This leaves unexplained the vowel of the first syllable and the aspira-
tion of the t. The gen. sg. of cruimther occurs in the Félire, April 29 : Martra Germain
cruimthir. In Old-Celtic cruimther would be cromitiros or crumitWos, which resembles
the oghamic curimittirros, as transliterated in one of the Siegfried mss. The ' Cruhthir

Clíi € a poet of the third order/ he was so called from his resemblance to a

strong at the floor, it is slender at the ridge, and straightly he covers (a)
(and) is covered. Sic is a cU among the poets. Strong in visitation in his
own territories, he is gentle in exterior territories. As the cU (post) is
in the house from floor to ridge, so then is the dignity of this graed
whereunto is the name of cU. [He covers] that which is below him :
is covered by that which is higher. He is straight in the practices of
his poetry.

Interlined in A: — "from ánruth to foMacon : a cU then covers that which is
lowest : he is covered (P) by that which is higher" : with this agrees B : doeim dana in jcli

The ancient Irish poete believed that there were fountains at the heads of the chief
rivers of Ireland, over each of which grew nine hazels, that those hazels produced
at certain times beautiful red nuts which fell on the surface of the water, that the
salmon of the rivers came up and ate them, that the eating of them was the
cause of the red spots on the salmon's bellv, that whoever could catoh and eat one of
these salmon would be endued with the sublimes t poetic intellect. Hence we often meet
such phrases as these in ancient poems : — " Had I the nut of Science", " Had I eaten of
the salmon of knowledge". See Dinnsenchas of Sinoinn in the Book of Lecan, fo.
240.^0'D.

cut-men, hol-m and duma with Skr. dhúma, I&tfúmws, fímus (cf. KOir-pOQ with icair-yog).

Cbuball i.e. cerr-bél ' wry-mouthed', his mouth on his jaw. Cerball then i.e.
cer for focher, fochuir ball or bell ' he waged war' [belt] from bellum ' war\
Cerball, then, means a warlike champion. Inde poeta.

Cerball was a leader on his expedition :
Not very slow were his two hands :
He slew Cormac, — great the shame —
Nine score hundreds five times.

This quatrain is, according to E. Curry, taken from a poem by Gilla na Naemh
O'Duinn, who died in 1160. No part of the article is in B and it is probably an
interpolation. — Ed.

Cel c heaven' [occurs supra, p. 86.]

Cel ' death' and every thiug of terror.

The root seems cat in Lat. celare, domi-rilium, Koikut, Ohg. helan. As to the 0. Norse
JSel gen. Meljar, our hell, see Grimm D.Af. 289. — Ed.

Cil .i. partial or everything oblique : unde lethchil ' half biased'.

Castoit 'chastity' from castitas, [occurs supra p. 85],

Cartoit i.e. entire devotedness : it is a name for love, [occurs supra, p. 85],
Cicht i.e. € a carver'.

Explained in H. 3. 18 thus : cicht .i. geibire .i. rindaire ( a carver or engraver'. O'D.

O'Davoren, p. 63 has cicht .i. geibiach, which seems cognate. — Ed.
Cloinn ' a sword', i.e. because it overcomes (clóides) every injustice.

Culmaire i.e. a chariot-builder.

See cul supra, p. 39.

C018NIT (a) i.e. cosnait i.e. cosnam data 'disputation in a court'. Oreo* na
ddla ' foot, or bar, or tribune, of the Court', on which the pleader stands :
and it is at it or from it he pleads and it is on it he stands. Hence the
pleader (dai) is not to be unsteady.

Cuisin from which this word is obviously derived, is explained by O'D. (Supp. to O'R.)
'to sue', ' to follow'. He refers to Welsh Laws p. 401, art. 9. O'Davoren, p. 71, has

Colomna ais or Xissb € columns of age' i e. times (stages of human life), viz.,

The word in A, 6clachu8 % which O'D. renders ' adolescence', is oqlachass (leg. óglachas)
in B., which seems better, óclachas (cf. óclachdi el. juvenilia Z. 8^2) being a derivative
from 6c ' young', and óglachas from 6g * integer ' perfectus' Z. 28. — Ed.

Coire 'a caldron' i.e. cói uire ' passage of the raw' : úr (is) every thing raw i.e.

Coire BreccXin ' Breccán's caldron' i.e. a great whirlpool which is between
Ireland and Scotland to the 'north, in the meeting of the various seas,
viz., the sea which encompasses Ireland at the north-west, and the sea
which encompasses Scotland at the north-east, and the sea to the south
between Ireland and Scotland. They whirl round (b) like moulding
compasses (c), each of them taking the place (d) of the other, like the
paddles (e) ... of a mill wheel, until they are sucked (f) into the depths so
that the caldron remains with its mouth wide open; and it would
suck (g) even the whole of Ireland into its yawning gullet. It vomits
iter urn that draught up, so that its thunderous eructation and its bursting
and its roaring are heard among the clouds, like the steam-boiling of a
caldron on the fire (h).

Now Breccán son of Main, son of Niall of the Nine Hostages, had
fifty currachs trading between Ireland and Scotland, until they fell at
one time into the caldron there, and there came from it not one, or, not
even tidings of destruction (ij ; and their fate was not known, until
Lugaid, the Blind Poet, came to Bangor, and his people went to the
strand of Inver Béce, and found a bare small skull there, and they

to them : " Put the end of the poet's wand upon it". This was done,
et dixit Lugaid the Poet : " The tempestuous water, the waters of [leg.
or] the whirlpool (a) destroyed Brcccán. This is the head of BreccaVs
dog ; and it is little of great", said he, " for Breccán was drowned with his
people in that whirlpool."

After the description of the whirlpool B inserts the following : Brecon din cendaige

From a poem attributed to S. Ciaran of Cluain-mac-nois, who died at the age of 33,
Sept. 9, A. D. 549. It is fabled that his death was caused by the prayers of the
other saints of Ireland, who envied him his fame for sanctity and miracle-working.
The poem was composed to counteract the effect of their prayers, or at least to complain of
those who wished to cut short his life before he had produced fruit worthy of his
ministry. — O'D.

QUARTA LITTERA.

Domnall i.e. doman-nnall i.e. the celebrity (nuall) of the world (domain) about
him. Or Domnall i.e. doman-uaill i.e. pride of (the) world about him.

Domn is from the same root as the Latin dominus, [Skr. damana], and the last
syllable all (a common termination of the proper names of men) is the adjective all
* great', ' mighty', ' noble'. — O'D, identified by Siegfried with the Skr. arya. The domn
is possibly = Gaulish Dubnus (Gliick K.N. 68, O.Welsh DubnJ with which Gliick connects
the Goth, diup ' deep'. But I would rather follow Siegfried in referring it, with Dumno
Domnos in Dumno-rix, Verjugo-dumnus, AofAvotXeioQ and the O. Ir. covmdemnackt
(gl. dominatus), comdemnigedar (gl. dominatur), to dominus, damana, — Ed.

Diahmait a man's name, .i.e. di-airmit, there is no airmit i.e. injunction
upon him.

di is the privative particle, which Gliick sees in the Gaulish Di-ablintres. From
airmit comes a verb which occurs in the Tripartite Life, and is curiously mistranslated in
Mr. Skene's Chronicles of the Picts and Scots, p. 17. — Ed.

Duthcern [DuitAcernd B, 'niggardly* 'churlish'] .i. di-thuithcern, e not tuilk-
cern i.e. not suxth i.e. not sochla.

Sochla is said to mean ' good' in O'D. Sujjp» Here O'D. guesses it to be ' happy*. —

Díre * a fine' .i. di-aire c two distinctions [?] to nobles for their nobility, or

digalre € compensation' (i) .i. di-er tithe {c) 'two that were given

Dígal ['vengeance'] i.e. nem-gal 'non-crying' i.e. the crying ceases [anad,
anaid B] of every one for whom is wrought revenge [digabail 'diminution' B]
of wretchedness (d) : di at one time is negation, at another, augmentation
(e) . Aliter diagal i.e. lamentation with the one party and weeping (got) from
the other. Diagal then i.e. dé-gul ' a double cryV

digal is the Welsh dial * vengeance', The wordgal, gol, gul ' cry', ' waiT is ffom the

Doss i.e. a name of a grade of poe^s i.e. from his resemblance to a bush (doss).
The fochloc is a doss in the second year, i.e. (there are) four leaves upon him :

Similar glosses occur in H. 2.16 col. 101 : Diubrudath .i. dibru aeited broc debta.
Dibruted dibru. aited. niargairi in mbroc debta. Diburdud, translated ' compensation',
occurs in Senchas M6r pp. 230, 232 : cf. the verb diubraitir * full satisfaction is made',
O'D.'s supp. to O'R. Cinadus, translated ' friendship', seems a derivative from cin gen.
cinad 'fault' 'crime*. — Ed.

Dobrith .i. dobur and ith i.e. water and corn : this is (the) allowance of

O'D guesses 'gruel' or 'pottage'. O'Davoren p. 79, also exphmadabrith as a
compound of dobur and ith. ' Or, he says, ' bir * water' in the British and ith ' corn'
in the Gaelic. And it is to this that the author's mind was directed (when he said) that
it was not easier for him to be a week (living) on corn and on water than to be fasting
two (days) till night every month of the three months*. — Ed.

Dobur, i.e. two things it signifies (c) : dobur first, is water, unde dicitur

Déach fa general name for a , combination of two or more syllables up to
octosyllables', c a syllable'] .i. de-fuac/i i. e. de-focul ' of a word' fuacA a
word i.e. meeting in a word [?] i.e. syllable with syllable. The déacA is

least. For though a syllable is called déach, this is not but it is called

déacA because it is under the déacA, or is a de'acA's foundation, and it is from
that (words) grow to the end of bricAt wherein are i.e. eight syllables, as is said
in Latin unus non est numerus, sed ab eo crescunt numeri (b) . Now the poets
of the Gael reckon eight deacAs, and a monosyllable (cos) is that dialt, i.e. be-
cause there is no joint (alt=arlus) in it, and it is not divided. Recomarc is
the second déacA> i.e. from meeting with another, i.e. a syllable with a
syllable, ut Cormac. Iarcomarc is the third déach, i.e. an after-meeting,
after the first meeting, ut Cortnacdn. Files the fourth déacA (c) because
it folds (filles); if four be put round a tree downwards or round anything
else, it is in & filled ('turn') that the quaternity folds round it (dj, i.e..
two hither and two thither, not uneven is that burden (ere), for there is
no odd syllable (e) outside its two halves (f) } ut est Mur-cAert-acA-án.
Not so the déacA which is after it i.e. Clanre the fifth deacA. It is called
clanré, because it is divided unevenly [claen ' obliquus'] though it is put round
a thing, for heavier and more are three than are two ; for there are five
syllables in a cltenré, as is fian-am-ail-ecA-ar. The sixth déacA is
* luibenchosacA: luib i.9. luibne is the finger of the hand, and the cossa of the
fingers from them upwards, i.e. the elbow and the hand (g)> as far as the
joint of the shoulder ; and it is to this in a human being's body that the
[sixth] deacA is compared. Six joints from the end (A) of the finger to the
joint of the shoulder. Six syllables also are in a luibencAossacA, ut est
fian-am-ail-ecA-ar-ad. Claidemnus, the seventh deacA, i.e. claidem manus, i.e.

O'D's version of the first two sentences of the article is : " Deach, a metrical foot, i.e.
de-fhnach, i.e. the meeting of words, for fuach means a word. Deach is the smallest
division of a word ; it is a technical name for a syllable, not because it is a syllable, but
because it is the materies of which words grow from the dissyllabic to the octosylla-
bic". — Ed. Déach in H. 3, 18, p. 634, col. 4, is so written, and explained as dé-fuach

' buying' ; but it may also mean ' a reward' or ' payment'. In H. 2. 16 : Duos .i. I&q

QUINTA LITTERA.

Emain 'EmamV i.e. eo-muin i.e. eo 'pin' and muin ' neck* : eo-muin, then, i.e. a
pin behind or across a neck i.e. a brooch (a). Thus was the outline of the
fort described by the woman (Queen Macha), when she was sitting (b)
she took her pin from her garment to measure around her with her pin.
Further, then, the pin extended from her eastwards before her than when
returning behind her. Therefore the fort is uneven.

B adds : No em ab ema [afym] id est sanguine quia ema sanguis est (c). Uin i.e. unus
quia sanguis unius hominis [effusus est] in tempore oonditionis e[j]us. The superstition
here referred to, as to the need of immolating a human being to insure the stability of a
building, is still current in India. See further Three Irish Glossaries pref. xli, note :
see too Irish Nennius, Additional Notes, p. xxiv, for Johannes Malalas' legend of the
foundation of Antioch by Seleucus Nicator. — Ed. The ruin of the fort of Emhain, now
called the Navan fort, is about two miles Wj of Armagh. — O'D.

Emuin [Emon B] c twins', i.e. é a negative. Emuin, then, is é-oen i.e. not one
but two [lelab ( children ' B] are born there ; and the poets afterwards
inserted muin (the letter m) in the middle of it to avoid error [?], for to
them emoen or emon was finer than e-oen. Aliter Emon i.e. é- a negative
and mon : the mon, then, is fióvoc in the Greek, the jjlóvoq is unus [isin latin
* in the Latin' B] . Emon, then, non unus sed duo [.i. ni hoen ni acht da
niB].

These latter etymologies possibly produced the legend of Macha, daughter of Sainred
mac Imbaith, bearing twins at Emain Machae. See H. 2. 18, p. 80 1. c. 1. With emuin
(= O'Clery's eamhain .i. dání ' two things') are connected emnatar (gl. geminantur) Z. 671

Essem (' a rope or strap') i.e. ess ' an ox' and semh a brace (cor ait)*, so the
essem is a brace uniting one yoke {cuing) to the other, or to the ox or to
the oxen.

The word (corait) which I have rendered ' brace', O'D translates ' a yoke or strap that
bound one ox to another in ploughing'. Ess is = the W. ycK pi. ychain, = Eng. ox pi.
oxen : Skr. ukshan. The semh (saim B) is perhaps cognate with opóc, Skr. samam, Goth.
samana ' zusammen'. — O'Clery has Eisimk .i. gach ni bhios a g-coraid no a bh-focair a
cheile. — Ed.

Esrecht (Esrickt B).i.e. not bound by law.

ni thaircilla (taircella B) recht is inaccurately rendered, but I cannot correct the
rendering. The word seems only accidentally similar to esrechtaid (gl. exlex) Z. 766.
O'Clery has Eisreacht .i. dilleachda. — In O'D's Suppt. eisrecht gen. eisrechta is explained
by ' a toy', * a little cat, dog or pet of any kind', and so in Senchas Már pp. 124, 138,
166. — Ed. O'D explained it as ' any thing or persons not recognised by law .

Corrnac's Glossary. 65

Etauce [EiarcheB] i.e. yij gnece terra interpretatur latine. Etarce, then, is
lower land (yij) between (e tar) two higher lands (a) i.e. between two ridges.
JStarce i.e. etrige hollows [?] in the earth.

Etarce is now written eitre, and uBed in Kilkenny, Waterford, etc. to signify a farrow.—
O'D. The ce (cé) in etarce seems identical with the cé in bith-ché, Manx kee * the earth*,
and is perhaps = the Old Celtic ceva 'a cow' : cf. SSkr. go ' cow' and ' the earth*. — Ed.

Esfae \Esba B] 'idleness' i.e. eis-beo, there is no life in it, or there was not
(niba) anything at all, quasi es-ba. Etba, again i.e. es- a bd, its goodness
is es- (the negative particle) .

Edam 'eating' i.e. edo I eat, i.e. I use victuals. Edam then (is applied) to
the use of victuals (b) and to the comminution of every food that man
consumes. Not eg ham ut imperiti dicunt.

The confusion between dh and gh must hare set in when this gloss was written. — Ed.

Esconn i.e. Eseann i. e. esc ( water', and cann the name of the vessel. Eseann,
then, a name of a vessel (c) that is (used) in distributing (d) water, with
its handle through its middle.

Esconn is probably borrowed from spondeum. The esc here cited seems cognate with
the O.W. uisc now wy&g ' a stream'. — Ed.

Escann also, i. e. sescann with the Britons, and canna nominatur.

The Old Welsh sescann * a reed' here cited, now hesgen ( a sedge', 'a rush', is an interest-
ing example of the preservation in Welsh, to a comparatively recent period, of the s in
anlaut. So in Juvencus segeticion now hygedigion, sermain Lib. Land. p. 273, now
hirfaen, ' a long stone', Su (gl. deus) gloss on íiacc's hymn, now Hu.—Ea.

Eirge \Erge B] i.e. to rise, a verbo erigo.

So O'Clery: Eirghe .i. comhghabhail .i. comhthogbhail. Hence es-éirge 'resurrection'.
Here in B follows the article Esceth .i. nepscith ( non-slackness', which m H. 2. 16, col.
105 is Esced .i. escith .i. niscith ar aurlataid ' not slackness in obedience'. This seems
escaid (gl. impiger) Lib. Hymn. ed. Todd, p. 15. — Ed.

Essad 'disease' i.e. es^síd .i. ní-síd f not peace': for this is peace there, the health
everlasting (e).

So O'Clery : Easadh .i. galar. Essad may perhaps be from the neg. part, es and
*sad = Skr. sádhu ' perfect'. O'Clery has also Essdoth .i. slain te (' health'). — Ed.

Enbebt (Enbrofh~B) i.e. en 'water' and bret {broth B) 'corn' i.e. corn (is)
brandh ut Nortmannica lingua est.

O'D conjectures that enbroth is ' gruel'. — Ed.

Englas i.e. green water.

Still used to denote ' milk-and-water', but generally pronounced eanglais. Ni bh-fuair

Eoganacht i.e. offspring (icht) race or progeny which sprung from Eogan.

Enbarr (' froths i.e. én ' water* [and barr cacumen, spuma] . Enbarr, then,
i.e. froth (4an) that is on the water : inde dicitur gelither énbarr ' whiter
than foam'.
B adds : enbarr din nan tninde 'froth of a wave', (nan = W. etoyn, Bret, éon 'écume'). — Ed.

Eneclann [B, Enechlann A] ( ' compensation (b) for one's honour ) i.e. because it
is fixed (clantar) for a person's honour (enech), whatsoever is due of live
property or dead property, which his hand (retaliating) does not contest
with him (i.e. take from him). The full price of every one's honour
according to (his) rank is what he is entitled to.

O'D's version of the first sentence is " i.e. what is ordained ( by law ) for a man's
honour, of living property or dead property, less .by what his own hand (by retaliation)
disputes with (deducts from ) him" : eneclann dligidh * lawful honourprice', Senchas M6r,
p. 232 : is fo deithberes a n-einecluinne * it is according to the difference of their
honourprice', ibid. p. 60. Eneaelann .i. eraic, O'Clery. — Ed.

Enech-ruicb i.e. enech-rti-cian i.e. far (dan) from the face (inchaib dat. pi. of
enech) is seen its ru i.e. its blushing, enech [-mice], then, is a face-blood-
reddening, as is " Son of thy mother, son of thy sister, dependent fellow,
itinerant fellow" I Where this (satire) does not apply (c), a seventh of the
price of honour is the compensation for it.

each gres each enechruice is for cintaib treisi ata ' every attack, every (verbal) insult

Enbch-griss, it is at the beginning of the tongue-trespass, it has a right to be :

fitting property [?] of any one, it is thereof they used to make the gar-
ters, verbi gratia, a garter of gold around a king's leg. Ferenn also is a
name for the girdle that is round the man, unde dicitur tacAmaic snecAta
fernafer i.e. the snow reached to men's girdles.

Ferenn or firenn seems radically connected with M. H. G. vrieren ' umflechten', Ohg.
toiara ' corona', perhaps Fr. guirhsi&e. The word indie, which I have doubtfully ren-
dered ' property', O'D translates ' girdle*. In B the passage is : smail nobit indili coma-
dais caich is di din dognitis na feirniu. In O'D's supplement to OR., indite is glossed
by tormack ' augmentum, and is also said to mean ' cattle of any kind*. In Senckas
Mar, p. 184 indie is ' cattle'. The phrase adopart teora leth-mdli ' he gave three

FÉ ab eo quod est ve i.e. vae, for with the Gaels it is usual for f to answer to

which served with the Gaels for measuring bodies and graves, and this
wand was always in the cemeteries of the heathen, and it was a horror to
every one to take it in his hand, and every thing that was odious [?] to
them they marked on it in Ogham. Inde dicitur :

Sorrowful to me to be in life
After the king of the Gaels and Galls :
Sad is my eye, withered my clay (a)
Since the fe was measured on Flann.

Aliter, a rod of aspen was used by the Gaels for the measuring of the
bodies, and the graves in which they were interred, and this wand was
always in the cemeteries of the heathen, and it was a horror to every one
taking it in his hand, and every thing that was odious [?] with the men
was struck with it, unde [in] proverbium venit féfris " a fé to it" ! for
as the wand was odious cui nomen est fé, sic et alia res cui comparatur.
For it was the aspen which the wand used to be, ani it is odious. There-
fore says Morann in the Briathar Ogham aercaid fid edath, i.e. the re-
proach which attached to the rod cui nomen est//.

This is a reference to the vestal [sic. qy. virgular P] Ogham of Morann, at the end of

Gabue (' a goat') with ailm (b) [the letter a] quasi caper, for it is that was cor-

it is a Welsh (word) that was corrupted therein, Gour then [in Welsh,
goor B/leg. guaur f\ is every thing bright. Inde dicitur gobur. [goar B]

whatsoever his colour might be, so as that a small part of him were
white, from the most remarkable colour nominatur. [var. lee] Oobur [goor
B] is his nomen, for it is the most remarkable nominatur.

B adds : rotuill in fili gaidhelacA .b. fris ar tucait mbindessa ar rop aille leo gobar quam

they thought gobur finer quam goor. Unde 1 <&c. Oobur is said to be ainm do grain (' a

stuck to tongue'.

A here erroneously explains gel or gil by the adj. glan ' clean'. This explanation does
not occur in B. Gel or gil ' leech' is now obsolete in Ireland ; but in the Highlands, geal-
tholl (c) means 'a leech', and cf. W. gel, Corn, ghel (gl. sanguissuga). — Ed.

Gaileng then was (first) said to Cormac, son of Tadhg, son of Cian, Le. he made
a feast for his father, i.e. for Tadhg, grandson of Oilill, and he had a hun-
dred of every kind of animal (at the feast), except badgers only. Cor-
mac went to the badger-warren. It was tedious to him to wait to destroy
it, so he invited (them) out on the truth of his father Tadhg's honour (d).
Then the badgers came out, and Cormac killed a hundred of them, and
displayed (them) at the feast (e). Then Tadhg's heart loathed them,
and he said what he (Cormac) had done, and he named his son hoc nomine,
i.e. Cormac Gaelang [Gaileng B] i.e. Dung-Honour, unde Galenga
nominantur. Gaileng, i gcei lang, falsehood and treachery, i.e. without
purchase. Gaileng, Le. gail-eheng, valour-paltry, i.e., one of the two is
paltrily valourous.

Gall i.e. a pillar-stone, i.e. nis comathig combatar sella eo colrandaib gall ' they
are not neighbours till (their) properties are (provided) with boundaries [?]
of pillar-stones' (a). Gall, then, means four things, ie. first, gall, a pillar-
stone, ut praediiumus : it is so called because it was the Gaill that first fixed
them in Ireland. Gall next, a name for nobles of Prance, i.e. tribus Galliae,
and they were so called from candor corporis, yaka [ enim ] Graece lac
Latine dicitur, unde Galli, i.e. milky ones (5). Sic, then, gall is nomen
for a swan : inde Fer Muman dixit :

cocholl chos ngall gemin brain

'the covering of swan's legs is a raven's skin'.

gall, then, a name for a cock, i.e. g alius, i.e. from galea capitis he is
named. [B adds : a eathbarr a cind i from the crest of his head']

1°. gall * a pillar-stone' seems at first sight cognate with O.Fr. gal, which Diez, E.W.
II, 804, connects with W. calen ' whetetone/ The double /, however, = rr, points to an
Indo-European ry or rs : so cf. perhaps Zend zarsh-tva, ' a stone'. O'Clery s. v. makes the
dat. pi. gaillechaib. 2°. The etymology of Gall from yaAa is taken from Isidore, par. 104.
" Galli a corporis candore nuncupati sunt : yaka enim graece lac dicitur." 3° gall ' swan'
and 4° gall ' cock' (if the latter word is not a loan from gallus) are for *garlus, and both
from the root GAR ' to call' • praise' ; cf. swan from the root SYAN ' sonare', and cf. hano
with the Latin cano and perhaps kv-kv-oq — Ed.

house of Ecetsal, the smith, and he saw the child at the nre, and it was not bigger than
a fist, and yet its seven years were complete. Now it was gnawing garlic and curds
and so forth, and it said to Greth " Does Greth eat curds (i.e. cooked), blackberries,
sloes, green leeks, nuts, onions, sour apples (a)> curds P Does Greth eat curds etc." P
(b). Then the gillie told Athairne this. Athairne went with a billhook (c) in his hand
to kill it. — The boy's father came while the iron was in the fire (etarlatn), and asked
of the girl " who came to the house" P Said the girl, " Athairne's gillie came", and
she said what had happened. " Hearken to me", said its father, " Athairne will come
and kill the child ; hide the child", says he, " and put its dress where it (now) is". Thus
was it done. Athairne came and gave a blow to the post (rip, eijyme) that was in the
dress. Then the girl shouted and he went his way. This, then, is the eric (mulct) that
was given for it, to wit, to instruct the boy for Echetsal the smith (d), so that he
should not be inferior in skill to Athairne. Afterwards Amorgein was brought to him*.

writes Imbass forosna. O'D translates the last sentence thus : ' he left dichedul do
ehenduibh (an extempore recital) to be composed in the corns cerda (the law of poetry)

an extempore recital at once". — Ed.

Lethech : two things it means. It is, in the first place, a name for a kind of
fish [a flounder], which is so called from its breadth and thinness, for
the kind of it in oceano is. very broad. Lethech is also a name for a
kneading-trough, because the cake is spread on it, as Crutine said on a
time that he went to another poet's house, and his gillie with him, i.e.,
a student with a master's pride (b). Crutine himself remained (c) outside
. and sent his gillie for hospitality (Í) to the poet's house. A hog's belly
(tarr) was given him in a caldron, and presently (e) the poet began con-
versing with the student and casting an eye on his diligence (in preparing
the meat). The poet observed the great pride of the student and the
smallness of his diligence. So when the belly was boiled the poet said in
the presence of the student f Dofotha tairr tein\ i.e. it is time to take it
off the fire, and it was ( in the poetical dialect he said this) in order that
he might know what answer the student would give him ; because he had
heard the poet ( Crutine) boasting of the other's wonderful inventions (f)
as if it were himself of whom he spoke (g), and he did not believe that
poet, and it was therefore that the poet said to test the student ' Dofotha
tairr tein } ; et tribus vicibus dixit € Dofotha tairr tein', et non respondit
ei vel ullum verbum. Thereafter arose the student and came to the
place where Crutine was and related the news to him i.e. the words which

the poet spake i.e. ' Dqfotha tain tein\ " Good", quoth Crutine, " when

he says (them) again, say* thou to him ' Toe Uthaig foen friss oeus

and light a candle to see if the belly be boiled. When the student

then had sat (a) within (on his return) the poet dixit the same,

et dixit the student Tóe lethaig etc., " Good", quoth the poet, " It

is not a student's mouth (b) that has returned (this answer.) He is

near who returned (it). Crutine is near. Call him from outside" (<?).

Crutine is then summoned, great welcome ig made to him, and other

food is put into the caldron. And little is the pride of the student

DECIMA LITTERA.

' Mo debroth' said Patrick, quod Scotici oorrupte dicunt. Sic hoc dici debet i.e.
tnuin duiu braut, i.e. muin is 'meus', the duiu is 'deus', the braut is
' judex', i.e. meus deus judex.

An asseveration constantly used by S. Patrick as we learn from his lives. Thus
explained in the life preserved in Leabhar Breace 14 a. 1 : Dixit magus nf chumcaim

Melo also i..e. death, inde dicitur rnelg theme [' death -darkness'] .i.e. the
darkness of death : or melg-thene (a), i.e. the fire of death.

O'Davoren, p. 105, differs here : he explains mdg by as * juioe' and teme by bos ' death'
.i. as mba(i)s ('juice of death') .i. foil (' blood'.). — Ed.

Morann i.e. tnór-fhinn i.e. ( great-fairhaired/ This was his name which his
mother gave him, and she said that whoever would not say (this name)
to him should be subject to death (V/). Mac Main 'son of wealth' his
father said to him, i.e. because this son was a good treasure (b), and
whosoever would not say this name to him should be liable to death (c).
So that these two names clung to him instead of one name. He (was)
a son of Coirpre Cennchait.

Morann, eon of Cairbre Cinnchait, who was king of the Aithech-tuatha at the
beginning of the first century, was chief Brehon to Feradach Finnfechtnach. It is
fabled of Morann that he had a sin, or chain, called Idh Morainn [and that he " never
pronounced a judgment without having this chain around his neck. When he pronounced
a false judgment the chain tightened round his neck. If he passed a true one, it
expanded down upon him". — Senchas Mór, p. 25]. The legend alluded to in the text
is given in the Book of Ballymote, foi. 143. — O'D.

Menadii ( f an awl') i.e. min € small' (d) and áith ' sharp' it pierces. Menadh,
again, small (min) its iad/i ' its hole.'

Still the common word for awl throughout Ireland. In the Highlands, minidh. —
O'D. B has : .i. min aith .i. aith gonas 7 min fuaiges ( ( what pierces sharp and stitches
small'). Menad .i. min a inad et coel a toll (' small its place and slender its hole').
Hence it seems that the iadh of A is a blunder for inadh * place'. The W. mvnatoyd

occasional loss of n before t in Irish roots, cf. imdib'the, foircthe, Ebel, JSeitraege, III,

Maedóc of Ferns was the first bishop of Ferns and died 31st Jan. 624. This saint
is otherwise called Aed&n, his first name was Aidh, of which Áedán, Aedóc are
diminutives. The name Maedóo, now Mogue, is formed by prefixing mo ' my' to Aedóc.
In the gloss on the Félire of Oen^us, at 21st October, the quatrain is attributed to
S. Columcille: it begins A cléirchm chaid chumachtaig ['0 little cleric, chaste,
mighty* !). — O'D. It appears from the gloss here referred to that Munnn, son of
Taulchán the druid, made a union (oéntu) with Finntan of Cluain Eidnech, and that, in
token thereof, each of them gave his own name to the other. — Ed,

Skr. mála is' a name for Vishnu. — Ed. O'Clery has mat .i. ri (' king'), an mhdl .i.
on rioghan (' the queen') : mal .i. nasal, mál .i. Jili (' poet') and .L milidh no

Muirend means two things, first, it is a [proper] name for a woman : muirend
.i. mor-fhind (' great fair'). Muirend also is a name for a spear i.e.
mi-rind, ie. droc/t-rind e evil pointy a point which caiises death.

So in H. 3.18, p. 636, col. 3 : [Muirenn .i.] mirind .i. gae. ut dixit finn dergaider
muirnne m(b)lith. O'Davoren, p. 105, explains muirenn by slegh, and quotes tuile mar
muirne * a great flood of spears'. O'Clery, too, has muireann .1. ga no sleagh. — Ed.

Mtjg-éime, that is the name of the first lapdog that was in Ireland. Cairbre
Muse, son of Conaire (1) brought it from the east from Britain ; for
when great was the power of the Gael on Britain, they divided Alba
between them into districts, and each knew the residence of his friend,
and not less did the Gael dwell on the east side of the sea quam in Scotica,
and their habitations and royal forts were built there. Inde dicitur
Dinn . Tradui, i.e. Triple-fossed Fort, of Crimthann the Great, son of
Fidach (2), king of Ireland and Alba to the Ictian sea, et inde est Glas-
tonbury of the Gael, i.e. a church on the border (6ru) of the Ictian sea
(3). It is there was Glass son of Cass, swineherd of the king of
Hiruaith (4), with his swine feeding, and it was he that Patrick
resuscitated at the end of six score (a) years after he was slain by
the soldiers of Mac Con. And it is in that part is Dinn map Lethain
in the lands of the Cornish Britons, i.e., the Fort of MacLiathain, for mac
is the same as map in the British. Thus every tribe divided on that
side (i), for its property to the east was equal [to that on the west] (c)
and they continued in this power till long after the coming of Patrick.
Hence Cairbre Muse was visiting in the East his family and his friends.
At this time no lapdog had come into the land of Éiriu, and the Britons
commanded that no lapdog should be given to the Gael on solicitation
or by free will, for gratitude or friendship. Now at this time the law
among the Britons was, " Every criminal for his crime such as breaks

(a) A has XXVI, but B has VI Jlchit, Q ha* teficKit.—Q'D.

(b) di tuidiu = denn in B, dirtn G.—JSd.

(c) "Such were the dÍTtefoas of ail the families, for each had a proportion in the east (eastern Island").— O'D.

the law" (a). There was a beautiful lapdog in the possession of a friend of
Cairbre Muse in Britain, and Cairbre got it from him [thus]. Once as Cairbre
(went) to his house, he was made welcome to everything save the lapdog.
Cairbre Muse had a wonderful skene, around the haft whereof was adorn-
ment of silver and gold. It was a precious jewel. Cairbre put much
grease about it and rubbed fat meat to its haft, and afterwards left it before
the lapdog. The lapdog began and continued to gnaw the haft till morn-
ing, and hurt the knife, so that it was npt beautiful. On the morrow
Cairbre made great complaint of this, and was sorry for it, and demanded
justice for it of his friend. ' That is fair, indeed : I will pay for the trespass/
said he. f I will not take aught', says Cairbre, ' save what is in the law
of Britain, namely, ( every animal (i) for his crime'/ The lapdog was
therefore given to Cairbre, and the name, i.e. Mug éime [' slave of a
haft'] clung to it, from mug f a slave' [and áim f a haft'], because it was
given on account of the skene. The lapdog (being a bitch) was then
with young. Ailill Flann the Little (5) was then king over Minister,
and Cormac, grandson of Conn (6) at Tara ; and the three took to wrangling,
and to demand and contend for the lapdog ; and the way in which the
matter was settled between the three of them was this, that the dog
should abide for a certain time in the house of each! The dog
afterwards littered, and each of them took a pup of her litter, and .in this
wise descends (c) every lapdog in Ireland still. Now after a long time
the lapdog died, and Connla (7) son of Tadhg, son of Cian, son of Oilill
Olum, found the lapdog's bare skull, and took it as a puzzle to a poet who
had come with an ái or an airchetul to his father. Maen mac Edaine was
the poet's name. The poet Maen afterwards solved it through the teinn
laeghda, and he said :

" Cain tonna tige hui Eoguin
Ith i tig hui Chuind
cachtádath tobara(i)nd
basa caem i tig Coirpri Muisc (rf)

O Mug-éime ! This is the head of *Mug-éime, to wit the first lapdog that
was brought into Ireland", etc.

Maxaxxan mac lib, a celebrated merchant who was in the Isle of Mann. He
was the best pilot that was in the west of Europe. He used to know
by studying the heavens (a) [i.e. using the sky], the period which would
be the fine weather and the bad weather, and when each of these two
times would change. Inde Scoti et Brittones eum deum vocaverunt maris,
et inde filium maris esse dixeruni (b) i.e. mac lir ' son of sea\ Et de
nomine Manannan the Isle of Manndictus est (c).

He was son of Allot, one of the Tuatha De* Danann chieftains. He was otherwise
called Orbsen, whence Loch Orbsen now Lough Corrib. He is still vividly remem-
bered in the mountainous district of Deny and Donegal, and is said to have an enchant-
ed castle in Lough Foyle. According to the traditions in the Isle of Man and the Eastern
counties of Leinster this first man of Man rolled on three legs like a wheel through
the mist, and hence the three-legged figure on the Manx halfpenny, and the motto
quocunque jeceris stabit. — O'D. I know nothing of this tradition, but if it be authentic,
we may possibly trace a connection between this three-legged Manannan mac Lir (= the
Welsh Manawydan ab Llyr), the TARVOS TRIGAItANUS of the Notre Dame
Inscription and the Vedic Vishnu with the three strides, i.e. the rising, the culmination
and the setting of the sun. See Siegfried, Beitr. zur vergl. spr. i. 473. — Ed.

Nescoit (' a boil') i.e. This is a story of the Gael. When (the) battle of
Moytura was being fought Goibniu (the) Smith was in the forge making
the weapons for the Tuatha Dé Danann, and Luchtine (the) Carpenter was
making the shafts for the spears, and Creidne (the) Brazier was making
rivets for the same spears. JDicunt autem Scoti that Goibniu the Smith
faciebat Aastas by three actions, and the last action was the finish(d).
Then Luchtine made the shafts by three cuts and the last cut was the
finish. Sic et Creidne faciebat the rivets. Goibniu used to fling the
spearheads from the tongs, and they used to stick in the jamb. Luchtine
used to cast the shafts after them, and (this) was enough to insert (c) [?]
them. Creidne used to fling the rivets from the jaws (d) of the tongs,
and (this) was enough to insert (b) [?] them. Now while Goibniu was
at this thing, a crime is charged against his wife. It was seen (e)
in him then that the story was grievous to him, and he grew jealous
thereat. This is what he does. There was a pole in his hand when
he heard the story: Ness was its name, and it is about it the
furnace of clay (f) is made ; and he sings spells over this pole, and
to every man who came to him he gave a blow of this pole (g).
Then if the man escaped (A) a lump full of gory liquid and matter was
raised upon him, and the man was burned like fire, for the form of
the pole called Ness was on the lump, and therefore was it named Nescoit
from that name, Ness then i.e. a swelling and scoit 'liquid*. Ness also
means four things : ness [' weasel'] the name of the animal : ness a name

124 Cormac's Glossary.

for a pole : net* nomen for a furnace [?] as said a certain smith's wife,
who made an elegy for her husband, dicens—

It is grievous to me to look at him (a):
The red (flame) of his furnace (6) grows to the roof :
Sweet were the murmurs that his two bellows
Used to chant to the hole of his furnace.

Et alius dixit :—

A marriageable woman without a husband.
A fire with fervency (c).
Uuaile's enemy was Naise's wife :
From her is the name Urnaise.

Veh is also a name for a blow and for a wound, ut est in the Senchas Mar :

From grains (proceed) every measurement,
From (the) Feine every law,
From treasures every appraisement,
From the fines for a man's body,
Though many are his wounds,
The ness was elevated {d),

i.e. according to the dignity of the spot in the person on whom the wound
is inflicted. By it then is his eric : i.e. verbi gratia, if the outrage is
inflicted on a face, or on ^ forehead, or on a chin, the eric is greater, as
is in the. Senchas Már : if the blemish is under raiment, it is less, etc.

Ollamh [Olldam B] .i. oil a damh ' great his retinue', twenty-four. Ollamh
i.e. oil a uaim € great his cavern', as it is difficult to destroy a cavern that
is in a cliff, sic it is difficult to attack the poetry and learning of the
ollamh. Ollamh also .i. oil eimh ie. great to expound i.e. he expounds
and solves questions (a)

For ' xx. iiii'. B has eethrar ar fichit ' 24 persons'. B inserts a third etymology :
oil di em .i. is oil inni ditness .i. eethrar ar fichit ' great is that which protects (him)
Le. 24 persons'. — Ed,

Ollamh [gen. ollamhan] signifies a chief professor of any science [cf. ollamh breithe-
man. O'Don. suppt.] but particularly a chief poet It appears from a story about Mac
Liag, chief poet to Brian Boroimhe, that the Ollamh had power of life and death over
his 24 attendants. — O'D. He had seven times fifty stories, Senchas Mar, p. 44, and
the ollamh file had to compose a quatrain extemporaneously after his appointment by
a king of territories, ibid. p. 42. — Ed.

Ói ie. a sheep, inde dicitur disc i.e. 6i sheisc, a dry ewe, óimelc ( ( beginning of
spring') i.e. ói-melg c ewe-milk', i.e. that is the time that sheep's milk
comes : melg, i.e. milk,' because it is milked (blegar).

6i (ui, O'Davoren p. 124) = Lat. Umbr. ovis, ©ic, Skr. and Lith. avis : A.S. eav,
Eng. ewe. — Ed. Oisc or foisg is still the common word for a young ewe before she
has a lamb. — O'D. In the Highlands 6isg is a year-old ewe. — Ed. Seise (now seasg) =
W. hysp, Bret. hesk, hesp = Lat. siccus for siscus, Zend huska, Skr. cushka for

Óen (' one') quasi tin ab eo quod est units.

W. Corn. Bret, un from oino, as the classical Lat. Unu* from O. Lat. oinos (cf.
Gr. olvfi 'unity'), Goth, ains (= ainas), 0. Slav, inti — all (like Skr. ena 'this')
from the pronominal root I. — Ed. Now aon, in compounds én, e. g. énní ' one
thing*. — O'D.

Óenaoh (' an assembly'), i.e. 4ne each e contention [?] of horses'.

B has aine ech, which may be rendered either by ' delightfulness of horses' (dine .i.
aibnius) or ' swiftness of horses' (aine .i. luas no déine, O'Clery). Oinach f or Oenach
gen. oenaig n. is probably, like oenán, oentaigim, a derivative from óen, ' one*. Its

128 Cormac's Glossary.

meaning in Old Irish appears from the glosses, óinach (gl. theatrum) Lib. Armach. 183b,
aenach (gl. agon) Gildas No. 45, aenaekdu (gl. agonithetas) ibid, to have been a solemn

v ' assembly (iravfiyvpic) at which games were held. — Ed. Aonach .i. ain each .i. ait a
' mbi marcaigheacht go hán no go haoibhinn ' a circus of horses where there is pleasant
or delightful horsemanship', O'Clery. Now means a fair, [and so apparently infra s. v.
Ore tréith] but in ancient times apparently a public meeting at which horse-races and
other public sports were carried on : such was Oenach Tailten in Meath, and Oenach
Colm&in in Magh Life in Leinster. The modern horse-races of the Curragh of Kildare
(Cuirrech Liphi) are a continuation of Oenach Colmdin. — O'D.

Obth .i. an oath (luige) or perjury (á).

0. W. an-utonou (gl. perjuria) with the usual change of oi to u, Goth, diths, Eng. oath.
Luige is = W. llw, Bret. U. Both words occur in Davoren s. v. Ardmes; ni fortreisi
aeth óinuir (b) ardmes ílmíle n-éirenn (' not stronger than an oath of one man is a surmise
of (the) many thousands of Ireland') .i. ni treisi toimdin a sochaide oldass luighe
n-aonfir (' not stronger is a conjecture of her multitudes than an oath of one man'). — Ed.
O'Clery has aoth .i. mionn ' oath*. — O'D.

Oar i.e. a voice or call.

oapoc (from oFapoQ ?) ' discourse', ' chat' is perhaps the same word. Oar also
occurs in O'Clery 's Glossary, but I have never met it elsewhere. So blór ' noise* (O'Dav.)
seems = ifaXvapogf — Ed.

Oech i.e. an enemy.

This occurs spelt Aech, supra s. v. Aithech. It has possibly lost the initial p, and, if
so, may be equated with A.S. fáh ' inimicus/ * infestus.' — Ed.

Orb nomen viri, a quo Orbraige.

Orbh was the ancestor of the people called Orbhraighe, who were descended from
Fereidhech, son of Fergus mac Koigh, king of Ulster in the first century (c). They
were seated in and gave their name to the barony of Orrery in the co. Cork. — O'D. Orbh,
i.e. Orv, is perhaps from the same root as the Skr. arvan ' horse'. The raige may be = A.S.
rige in sudh-rige etc. — Ed.

Og (' egg') quasi ob id est ovum i.e. egg.

og (gl. ovum) Z. 1020, W. toy, Corn, uy, Bret, ui, u, vt are connected with A.S. cig,

pi. dgru, Ohg. ei, pi. eigir and perhaps the modern Greek Icvyo. The comparisons

with ovum, &6y seem to me very doubtful. The modern obh, Gael, ubh are probably
borrowed from ovum. — Ed.

Ord (' order ) i.e. ab or dine.

Ord A. dliged, O'Dav. p. 109 : int-óri so ' hie ordo\ Z. 666. W. urdd, Bret. urz. — Ed.

130 Cormac's Glossary.

Lad as his fool Lomna the Fool, i.e. an imbecile (a). Now Finn went forth
one day on a hunting excursion, and Lomna remained at home. There
was a woman of the Luigne with Finn, for in every mountain and every
forest that Finn with his Fiann used to frequent there was a particular
woman awaiting turn in every territory [ that was nearest to him still
(6) ], and they were female brughaidhs, and they were good to support
the Fiann, for their people spread over the territories, so that no one
durst (do) evil to them. Finn once came into Tethbha with his Fiann,
and went on a hunting excursion. Lomna staid at home, and as he was
walking without, he saw Coirpre, a champion of the Luigne, lying
secretly with Finn's woman. Then the woman besought Lomna to
conceal it. It was grievous to him to be concerned in betraying Finn.
Then Finn came (back), and Lomna cut an ogham on a foursquare rod,
and this was on it : " An alder stake in a pale of silver. Deadly night-
shade (c). A husband of a lewd woman (is) a fool (d) among

the well-taught Fiann. There is heath on bare Ualann (e) of Luigne"
(/). Finn then understood the story, and he became disgusted with the
woman. The woman also knew that it was from Lomna he knew it,
and she sent a messenger to Coirpre that he might come to kill the fool.
So Coirpre came and cut off his head and carried it with him. Finn
returned to the hunting-booth in the evening, and saw the body without
a head. (t Here is a body without a head" I says" Finn. "Let us find
out", said the Fiann, " whose it is". Finn then put his thumb into his
mouth, and he spoke through téinm laghdha and said Ni conruha (g) etc.
"This is Lomna's body", said Finn. "Enemies have taken his head from
him". They slip the hounds and put them on the track (h). Finn goes
upon the track of the soldiers, and found Coirpre in an empty house
cooking fish upon a stone (i), and Lomna's head was on a spike by
the fire. The first set that was cooked on the stone Coirpre divided
among his thrice nine persons, and he did not put a morsel thereof into
the mouth of the head (J). This was prohibited (&) to the Fiann, and
then said [Lomna's head to them :] { A speckled white-bellied ore, ie. a
salmon from a small fish; this is its origin etc'. The second set, then, Coirpre
divided iterum priori modo, and the head said iterum : " Thou hast shared

killed him, he has not eaten him ; he has not carried him to his lair. —Lomna'.

The Gaire Echach was evidently a law respecting the herding and valuation of cattle
enacted by Eochaid, King of N f Munster in the first century. — O'D. O'D's version of
this passage (here printed from B) is sad nonsense : — ' My three whites (cows) which
grazed around the house of Eochaid, the reproachful speaker, the price of a white milch
cow in a shed, which has calved, is equal to two horses. Bread is proved by the pugin
of a puincern by him who wishes not for falsehood. The full milje of five healthy
cows is allowed for him who is pale from sores, groaning, though it may be believed

Senchán' s people replied i.e. "In cerd mac hni Lulsaine liaig do
iharrsaige tull" " (It is for) the poet, son of Ua Dulsaine, from Liac of
Tursaige tull'\ Now this happened to Senchán thua He' arranged to
go to Mann, i.e. at a time of pleasure to make a visit there, and fifty
poets were his retinue, besides students. There never was before upon
any other poet such a dress as Senchán had upon him, besides his sage's
gown ; and what was best of the garments of the men of the princes
(c) of the Gael this the other poets about him wore (d). When they
had put to sea and set their stern (e) to land, an ill-visaged youth called
after them from the land : " Let me (go) with you" says he. They
all looked at him. They did not like his fece nor to let him (go)
with thejn, for he was not a bird fit for their flock because of his hideous
aspect. For when he placed his finger on his forehead, streams of putrid
matter would issue backwards through his ears [on] his back. Two
crosses (cross-streams) over his crown. Like a dropping distillation

of his brain of his head and his skull (f). But they ceased

not flowing with stench. Rounder than a blackbird's egg were his two

If the mottled rag that was round him were taken off, it would not be
hard for it to go on a journey alone, unless a stone were put upon it (5).

Then he shouted with a great shout, and said to Senchán " We should
be more profitable to thee (c)" f says he, "than the poets, or that proud,
foolish (á), very mighty set (e) that is with you".

" Sit thou down (f'\ says Senchán, " come thou behind the helm into
the boat/' " We shall try it" says he. He goes on the rudder into the
boat (g) and quicker than a cat after a mouse (//), or a griffin to its nest,
or a hawk from a cliff was the rush that he- made till he was in the boat;
and the boat was nearly sunk (i), because they pressed [?] before him on
the one side : he had the other side to himself; and they said from one
mouth : " A monster hath appeared [?] to thee, Senchán ! and it will be
thy only [living] company, provided we reach land". Thence was he
named Senchán Torpeist, i.e. Senchán to whom a monster appeared.

were on the strand, they saw' the old woman (sentuinne) grey-haired,

An old woman and old priest (/),
A grave-broom (k) is their withered beard,
Provided they do not serve (I) God's Son,
And do not give («*) their first fruits (») .

Thus was the old woman on the strand, cutting sea- weed (o) and other
sea-produce. Signs of rank (were) her feet and hands, but there was not
goodly raiment on her. She had the ghastliness [?] of famine. A pity

Liac Thuill (a) in the country of Hy-Rdhgenti, who had gone on a
circuit of Ireland and Scotland till all her people had died. Then the
artist, her brother, son of Ua Dulsaine, was seeking her throughout Ireland,
but found her not.

So when the old woman saw the poets, she asked them who they were.
Said a certain one of them " Good are those thou askest (6) . This is Senchán,
Poet of Ireland". " Wilt thou be humble, O Senchán" ? says she, " art
thou willing to give me an answer ?" " Thou shalt have (one) indeed",
says Senchán (c). [Then said the woman : — ]

" I am not acquainted with tribulation,

Although the seaweed (is) blistered, soft" (d).

" What is its (corresponding) half-quatrain" ? [said she] . Then Senchán
was silent [?] and all the poets. But then the aforesaid youth sprang
before Senchán, et dixit " O hag, thou shalt not approach Senchán. It
is not meet for thee ; but address me, for none other of this family shall
address thee". " Question, then", said the poetess, " what is the [other]
half-quatrain" ? "Not difficult", says he : —

" From the surface of the great rock of Mann
Much salt hath been made here".

"And this half-quatrain also" [said she], "what is its (other) half
[OSenchán"?].

; .(*)

My two ears burn me greatly" (prvll).
" Senchán shall not answer thee even yet", replied the youth. " Ques-
tion, then, what is it according to thee"? says she. " Not difficult", says he : —

The artist, son of Hua Dulsaine,
From Liac of Tursaige Thuill".

" Verily", said Senchán, "thou art the daughter of Ua Dulsaine,
the poetess for whom there is searching throughout Ireland and Scotland".
" I am, in sooth" said she. Then she is taken by Senchán, and noble
raiment is put upon her, and she came with Senchán to Ireland.

When they came to Ireland they saw the aforesaid youth before them ;
and he was a young hero kingly, radiant ; a long eye in his head : his hair
golden-yellow : fairer than the men of the world was he, both in form and
dress. Then he goes sunwise round Senchán and his people, et nusquam

138 Cormac's Glossary.

Senchán Torpeist was chief poet of Ireland when Guaire Aidne was king of Con-
naught A. D. 649 — 662. The spirit of poetry is represented as ill-visaged at first,
because of the difficulty of the art to a beginner. [As to the challenges to give the
corresponding couplet] it was believed among the ancient Irish that a true poet
could supply the second line [half P] of any quatrain if he heard the first repeated.
In a ms. in the Bodleian, Laud 615, p. 134, there is a short account of a poetical
contention between St Columbkille and the Devil. The latter attempted to puzzle
the former by repeating the first lines of several ranns and demanding of the saint to
supply the second. In this the saint succeeded in every instance ; but, in his turn, he
defeated his antagonist, who could not supply the required second lines of some moral
poems, and thus was detected to be the arch-enemy of mankind. — CD.

here at Simla the men walk sunwise round their gurus either thrice or seven times. As
to the challenge to complete quatrains, compare the Arabic ijázat : " Verse-completing
was in all times a favourite intellectual exercise of the Arabs, whose powers of improvisa-
tion were marvellous. It is when two poets contend by one reciting a verse which the
other must follow with another in the same metre and rhyme, and with a continuous
sense ; the former then has to give a third and so on, till it is shown which has the greater
imagination and promptitude. Sometimes one uttered half a verse which the other had to
complete. Imr at Qays was accustomed to challenge those who claimed the reputation of
poet» to compete with him. Once he challenged Tow'am the Yeshkeri, and said to him,
" If thou be a poet, complete the verses which I shall utter," and he began " Dost thou
see the flash gleaming m the night ?" Tow'am continued, " Like a Mage's fire it blazes
a blaze". Imr al Qays : " I was wakeful to observe while slept Abú Shorayh".
Tow'am : " As oft as I said ' it now ceases' it flashed abroad". Imr al Qays : " Its
sound was as a murmur in a place unseen". Tow'am : " Like the she -cam els lowing
wildly when they meet the herd." The poem is given in the Diw&n of Imr al Qays,
p. 41, Arab. Text. When the poet found that he had an equal he bound himself by an
oath never again to contend in poetry". Chenery's Assemblies of Al Hariri : Vol

Sacart (' priest*) i.e. saeer d ab eo quod est sacerdos, or sacart i.e. knowledge
(suitAe) with him (acca) is his or do.

'fully learned in his order, i.e. his profession*. — CD. Bat is not ord here the ord
eclasda which Fiacc read in one night P Note in sacart, 1° the progressive vocalic
assimilation, 2° the provection of d to t, as also in Manx saggyrt. — Ed.

Sorb i.e. a fault, quasi sord i.e. a sordido.

B reads : a sordento (sic) ,i. ont-salchar (' from the filth*).— Ed. O'Clery explains :
locht no salach (' a fault or filthy'). — O'D. The Gr. pviroc, if for vpitrcoe, is probably
cognate. — Ed.

Slabhradh fa chain,)' i.e. slabhar tad .i. a narrow closing i.e. slabhar every-
thing narrow, esslabhar everything wide.

Still the common word for a chain. — O'D. It points to an Indo-European root SLAB*
whence perhaps the Homeric tWafioy from ea\a(iov. — Ed.

S a mr ad (' summer') i.e. sam hebraice, sol latine, unde dicitur satnson € sol
eorum' : samrad, then, a course (rad) which the sun runs : then most does
its brightness delight (a) and its height.
Sam = W. háf— O'D. Corn, haf, Bret. hanv.—Ed.

Salt ab eo quod est saltus i.e. a leap.

Z. 1075 : isinbliadin-8in hi cniretar salt — Ed. The barony of Salt in Co. IGldare takes
its name [from salt i.e.] a saltu salmonis, Leix-lip, laxelbb. — O'D.

Sen (' old') ab eo quod est senex.

W. Corn, and Bret hen, Zend hana, Skr. «ana. — Ed.

Seindser [tenser B] i.e. senex et fer.

Seinnser is still in common use for ' ancestor' and ' senior*. — O'D. It seems to be
formed from sen ' old* with a doable comparative suffix, like Lat. sin-is-ter applied to the left
hand as the weaker, (Kuhn), or rather perhaps, euphemistically like ápiarepóc,, ebu>vvfio£.
—Ed.

Salchuait {Sailckoit B] i.e. sail-choit i.e. coit a wood in the Welsh. Sailckoit
a great wood of willows.

Cognate and synonymous with Latin salicetum : the name of a townland, anglicised
Sallowhead or Sulloghid in the barony of Clanwilliam, about four miles W. of
Tipperarv town and celebrated in Irish history. — O'D. The hardness of the t in Sal-
chuait shows that it is a loanword, and that the coit or cuait is either, as Cormac says,
from O.W. coit now coed, or from the Latin coetus (arborum), whence I suspect the W.
word is borrowed. — Ed.

Sadb .i. 80-adba i.e. a good abode.

So O'Clery : W. haddefior haddf (Siegfried). Like Skr. sadman ' house' from the root
sad. — Ed.

Sine (' a teat') i.e. quasi snige ( e flowing*).

sine seain (gl. ugula, Ir. Glosses No. 151 : snige is rather 'trickling' ' dropping*. — Ed.

* For some account of this lady see the story Toghail Bruigkne Dachogadh. The
Feadha of Ath loain was the name of O'Naghtan's country containing 30 quarters of
land W. of the Shannon, in the barony of Athlone and Co. of Roscommon. — O'D.

Six i.e. everything circular, unde the sin of Mac Main i.e. a sin that was
round his neck for declaring truth : when it was truth he used to say it
was wide for his neck : when it was falsehood it was narrow.

Sion .i. idh no slabradh. — O'Clery. See above s. v. Anairt — O'D. B adds : no eipistil

Scurr (' the Scots') i.e. a 8eota 9 daughter of Pharoah, king of Egypt.

Scuit is the nom. pi. of Scot (d) : dat. pi. scotaib, Fiacc, 1. 35. For the legend, see
Senckas M6r 9 p. 20. — Ed.

SIth i.e. food, inde dicitur sáithech ('satiated').

Magh Sainbh ( the Plain of Sanbh' was one of the old names of Machaire Chonnacht
or Magh Aoi, a plam between the towns of Roscommon and Elphin, Strokestown and
Castlereagh in the Co. Roscommon. — O'D.

Seng i.e. everything slender (?) in the Book of the Great Wood.

ieang [Manx shang] now ' slender'. — O'D. The word segdae, which O'D translates
'slender', is explained in Bby cosmailfri seigh é ar a feige 7 araglicus 7 ara gabailchi,
'like a hawk is he, for his sharpness and his cunning and his graspingnessi?)'— Ed.

Sen i.e. a net in which birds are caught : inde dicitur zénbretha (' birdnet laws')
and senairecht.

So O'Davoren, p. 117. O'D renders sénairecht by 'bird-catching' — a mere guess. Sen

O'Clery has the derivative toiseidhe .i. toil. — O'D.

Tbíath also, three things it means : triath s king' i.e. he pacifies (sidaigther)
the land (tir) : triath ' sea' it terrifies (uathathar) the land : triath ' hog*
it turns up (soodathar) the land. Now they are distinguished in their
genitives (b) : triath, now, f king/ tréith is its genitive : triath € sea',
tréthan its genitive : triath s boar*, tréithe [treithirne. — O'D.] its genitive.

treith ' regis' occurs supra s. v. Ore treith. Tréthan the gen. and tréthain the
ace sg. of triath 'mare' occur in the Félire, June 3, Dec. 11. With this Siegfried
compared Tplruv and Zend Thraetaona (' Feridun') : trethan (gl. gurges) Z. 737 (whence
the adj. trethnach ' stormy') seem connected. I have not met triath * boar' elsewhere,
except in O'Clery 's Glossary, where triath is also said to mean tidach ' a hill'. The
several etymologies of triath are thus in B : Triath .i. ri tirsith a taithmech. Triath

Tedavnet (Toigh Damhnaide) in Monaghan, Timoling (Tigh Moling) in Kildare and
Carlow: Stackallan (Toigh Chonáin) in Meath, Stillorgan {Tigh Lorcain) near Dublin,

Connaught, where they call the new moon gealach ur and new town baile úr ; but in

is generally used as a prefix in compounds, as urghrdna. — O'D. In urghrdnna ' valde

(' or the other [ ? ] tomb')

Still a living word for a Btone tomb or a penitential station in the shape of a stone-
altar. Several uladh* of this description are still to be seen in the island of Inishmurray
in Sligo Bay. —O'D. gen. sg. ulaid im nemtiachtain do dónam ulaid cumdacht (cum-
dachta P) imin flaith, Senchas Mór, p. 186, and see Battle of Moira, 298. I think aile

O'D reads urgkbkail. But urgal occurs in the phrase urgal cuirmthige (a), Senchas
Mór, p. 230, where it is translated ' quarrel [P] in an alehouse'. — Ed.

Still living : enters largely into topographical names, as Oran in the oo. Roscommon,
Oran-more in co. Galway, &c. — O'D. maJM.f-arrane : uar * cold' seems W. oer. — Ed.
